"Conservatives in the nation's largest Lutheran denomination may set aside minor doctrinal differences and form a coalition for large-scale reform within a church they say has lost sound theological understanding.
The Word Alone Network, a grouping of more than 200 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) congregations and 70 regional chapters, will be meeting with other orthodox fellowships next week to "come to an understanding on working together for the common good."
"We're going to see if we're able to work together to change the denomination and turn it around," said Jaynan Clark Egland, president of Word Alone."- The Christian Post, Nov. 7, 2005
